b. Technician B
c. Both technicians A and B
d. Neither technician A nor B

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Both technicians A and B

Explanation:

From the physical definition, power is defined as the rate of a body doing work. It is expressed as  

                                     P = w/t    watts

Where  

                       w - is the work done or the energy of the system in joules

                        t - time

The unit of power is represented in watts.

Whenever there is a rate of change of energy in the system, it accounts for the efficiency of the power of the system.

Hence, the statements of both technicians are correct.
